A Crock of Schmidt

Single-handedly solving nothing

I Hate Voting!

September 19, 2021 by acrockofschmidt 2 Comments

I hate voting. I do! I really, really do. Elections. Campaigning. Polling. Entering a middle school gym thirty-five years after I rightfully belong in one. The little golf score-keeping pencils. All of it, I hate. I also hate democracy and FREEDOM. At least, I think that’s how the progression from patriot to traitor goes according […]

I’m Spoiling My Ballot

October 18, 2019 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

I don’t want to vote. Like, I really don’t want to vote. This is something that’s been eating at me for years now. There are many reasons for my, let’s put this politely, disinterest in voting, but the most pervasive is the reality that for the past twenty-one years of my adult life, my vote […]

On the Matter of Voting in Alberta

April 16, 2019 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

Four years ago, I voted for the NDP in the Alberta provincial election that shocked the wor … country.  Mine wasn’t a principled vote, born more out of mischief and curiosity.  I certainly held no love for the splintered conservative party who had governed for 44 years but were now running as two entities.  The […]

The Unity We Don’t Know We Have

April 8, 2019 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

It’s election time in Alberta.  Yay?  You are forgiven for thinking election time is perpetual these days, what with the non-stop campaigning that goes on.  There’s seemingly no end to the pep rallies, town halls, leadership contests, policy announcements, billboards, radio spots, and television commercials.  And don’t get me started on the social media memes.  […]

White People Are Embarrassing

October 17, 2016 by acrockofschmidt 3 Comments

As the American political spectacle unceasingly assaults our senses (hardly the best sales pitch for global proliferation of democracy) two suspected truths have been unquestionably confirmed.  One, the United States of America is the only nation on this planet whose national elections are followed with such intensity and self-interest by the rest of the world.  […]

Seasons Don’t Fear The Niqab

October 5, 2015 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

Well aren’t we all just an itsy, bitsy, bigoty these days.  It’s okay.  Don’t be shy about it all of a sudden.  If you can insinuate it on Facebook you can surely cop to it here.  We hate Muslims.  There, that wasn’t so difficult was it?  Kind of leaves a comforting, nostalgic warmth in my […]
